Theory of Social Revolutions
Published in 1913, 'Theory of Social Revolutions' by Brooks Adams examines the cyclical nature of commercial civilizations and their inevitable decline. Adams, an American historian and critic of capitalism, argues that as societies prioritize wealth over spiritual and creative values, they foster distrust and dishonesty, leading to their eventual collapse. This work builds on his earlier ideas about the shifting centers of world trade and reflects his belief in the predictable patterns of societal rise and fall.
